Question

In a queue of children, Arun is fifth from the left and Suresh is sixth from the right. When they interchange their places among themselves, Arun becomes thirteenth from the left. Then, what will be Suresh’s position from the right?

• A. 8th
• B. 14th
• C. 15th
• D. 16th

Hint:

Left position + right position − 1 = total.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Arun’s new position from left = 13 ⇒ Suresh’s old position from left = 13.
Step 2: Arun’s old position = 5 ⇒ Suresh’s new position from left = 5.
Step 3: Total children: \[ 5 + 6 - 1 = 10 \] \[ \Rightarrow \text{Total} = 18 \]
Step 4: Suresh’s position from right: \[ 18 - 5 + 1 = 14 \]
